LB Lateek Townsend of Marlboro County will be at USC this weekend for his official visit. Friday night his team played at Cane Bay and was eliminated from the 3A playoffs.

Townsend has been publicly favoring the Gamecocks for several weeks now. According to a source who talked with Townsend after his game Friday night, a commitment to USC could occur this weekend. "Stay tuned," Townsend said when asked Friday night if will commit on his visit. Townsend said USC was a "10" on a scale of 10.

Adding further fuel to the fire, Townsend said he no longer planned to wait until the Under Armour Game to make his announcement. So, that announcement could come much sooner than later, perhaps has early as this weekend.
